Snot And Iann Dior Go Full Throttle In The High-Speed ‘Like Me’ Video

The two 21-year-olds have been in the fast lane for the past year. …

Rising stars Snot and Iann Dior meet up at the raceway in the video for “Like Me” from Snot’s 2020 album Beautiful Havoc. Flanked by pretty flag wavers in skintight outfits, the two 21-year-old rappers flex their trendsetting ways as they put the pedal to the metal in a desert-based road race in a pair of tuned-up BMWs.

Both rappers are primed to blow in a big way with this year, as their efforts in 2020 secured impressive streaming numbers and legions of loyal fans who have been champing at the bit to see them live. While Snot generated a huge buzz in 2018 with “Gosha,” he dropped a mixtape and an album in 2020, spawning videos for “Revenge,” “Mean,” “Who Do I Trust,” and “Watch Out.” His buzz is growing by the day, especially since collaborating with fellow buzzing newcomers Flo Milli and Iann Dior.

Meanwhile, Corpus Christi, Texas rapper Iann Dior has been part of one of hip-hop’s biggest singles over the past year, 24kGoldn’s “Mood.” The hit single topped the Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks — an impressive showing for two brand-new artists. They’ve gone on to perform the song multiple times on television and it’s since been remixed by international superstars J Balvin and Justin Bieber.

Album Review

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

Artist Spotlight

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings

While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.

“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.

The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
